So I wonder what conspiracy theories are up after this

So sick of this hype about drones. they've been used before and it's not like they're going around the U.S. with hellfire missiles attached to them firing metal rain all around you. People need to calm the fuck down.

It was likely something like this:

Keep on that hype train, Media.

[Shock_Coil]

Did they mistake Iron Man for a drone again?

[AwesomeX]

Don't worry guys its just a weather balloon.

[Sientanse]

Definitely strange, but is it worth it to freak out over an over sized RC plane?

[Liem]

Watch it just be some RC junkies Drone

[MIPS]

People flying quadrocopters = Terrorists using drones to spy on american facilities

[i]Make the connection guys! We must prepare for the invasion![/i]

[Trumple]

considering the small range of transmitters (limited by law in many countries) couldn't the ATCs have followed it back to where it landed just in plain sight a few miles out with binoculars?

I always get a chuckle of this.

[Used Car Salesm]

I'm guessing it's some hobbyist's RC aircraft.

I imagine the FBI are investigating this because the drone was in a restricted airspace and came 61 meters from hitting a landing plane.

Drones themselves do not warrant an investigation.

Besides, hunting for terrorists is the CIA's and Homeland Sec's biz, not FBI.

Because if it were low enough, I would definitely try to ride it. I don't care if I ended up plummeting from it, at least my obituary would read "Went out riding on top of an airplane."

[TheTalon]

Drone?

R/C Plane more like. The fucking thing was barely a yard wide, if that

On a side thing that's a pretty awesome picture.

[J.C.DentonUNATCO]

Damned if they search for it, damned if they don't.

And I'm riding on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.

It's just a babby airplane looking for its mama.

Or you could jump on a predator drone. The amount of hell fire's it carries would mean it could easily carry a person.

the people doing the report also went and bought an RC drone in an ny city store for $300
